Hatshepsut: The Female King as Seen Through her Art and Architecture, - Kathlyn (Kara) Cooney, Associate Professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture, University of California Los Angeles

4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
13 Carpenter Hall
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Exhibitions, Lectures & Seminars
Hatshepsut's political aspirations are visible to us today mainly through her public temple program - at her mortuary temple of Deir el Bahari, her structures from Karnak including the Red Chapel, and her buildings from the precinct dedicated to the goddess Mut. The evolution of her portrait, skin color, and even the depiction of her gender are indicative of her experimentation with how to present her female kingship and the balancing act of rule alongside another king, the young Thutmose III.
